Following up the Optimus Prime’s track

All the Peruvian locations of transformers – The Rise Of Beasts.

 

The seventh movie of Transformers franchise has been partially staged in Peru. The complete storyline is about two antagonic bands of humanoid robots, coming from planet Cybertron, capable to develop feelings and transforming in vehicles or devices.

 



 

It’s not the first time the producers use this country to tell some episode  of the story. In 1984, when the cartoon series was launched, the ninth episode was dedicated to Peru.

 

Decepticons, the bad band, discover an Inca temple that is actually an energetic conduit to the Earth’s core, which control they look for taking  by building  a plug made of stolen steel from a nearby farmer community.

 

If the wardrobe  and the faces of the characters left no doubt it was about Peru, the scripts left clear it was about the Andes of this country. About the Inca temple, it’s not specified which one is about, it’s ignored if among so many Inca tales, it was any related to the plot developed in that episode.

 

Regarding the movie filmed in 2019, entitled The Rise Of Beasts, what is currently known is about a prequel including maximals and predacons, robots transforming in animals, which function had been caring the corpses of autobots and decepticons while they slept a 4-million-year dream after the ship they escaped out of their planet crashed circumstantially in the earth.

 

The film also uses locations in the U.s. and Canada, but coming up next, we’re going to review some of the Peruvian places watched on the footage, without any order in particular, and what are actual touristic destinations, as well.

 

Machu Pichu, Cusco (7973 feet altitude): Inca citadel located 42 miles straight line from Cusco  Downtown. It’s belief it was built along 15th century, it continues under archaeological research. The chronicles and files reveal its existence was already known until Hiram Bingham exposed it to the world in 1911 in association with National Geographic Society. Currently, it’s the main touristic attraction and one of  the commercial symbols of Peru. Its holiday is July 7th, remembering the day it was chosen as one of the 7 wonders of modern world, in 2007. The citadel has been used as a location in other American and Brazilian features including a video-clip by Gloria Estefan with a song written by Peru’s Gian Marco Zignago.

 



 

Sacsayhuaman, Cusco (12,139 feet altitude): Located 1.8 miles from Cusco Main Square, it’s an Inca fortress, possibly begun in 1350 AD, which full building could take about 90 years. Because of its configuration, archeologists think its use was basically military.  Due to its easy accessibility, it’s one of the most visited touristic destinations  what can reach by walking from Cusco Downtown. Every June 24th, it’s used like stage for performing Inti Raymi festivity, that actually started the Inca calendar matching to Southern Summer Solstice, the fewest daylight.

 



 

Moray, Cusco (11,108 feet altitude): Located 30 miles away from Cusco City, its about a set of rounded platforms at different altitudes, supposedly used by the Incas for testing the influence of levels in growing of certain crops and irrigation systems. Presummibly, it was abandoned in 1533 after the arrival of Spanish conquerors, forgotten beneath a bush until it was discovered during an overflight in 1932.

 



 

Malaga Pass, Cusco (14,160 feet altitude): Located 65 miles from Cusco Downtown on the road to Quillabamba, it’s a place used for birdwatching, mountain biking, and trekking due to its location between veronica Mount and other mountains.

 



 

Nazca, Íca (1706 feet altitude):  Located 277 miles to the south of Lima City, this place is famous for the geoglyphs or lines drawn on the soil representing animals, that, possibly, could be an enormous astronomic calendar designed by the ancient Nazca people between 600 and 200 BC. When we talk about enormous, we want to mean the best way to look at every drawing is by a flight on airplane for covering 200 sq mi of natural canvas.

 



 

Tarapoto, san Martin (512 feet altitude): Located 594 miles  to the north of Lima, Upper Peruvian Jungle, is surrounded by forests, cascades (as Aguashiyaco), and lagoons (as Sauce), so the destination is ideal for birdwatching and different adventure sports.

 



 

Transformers – The Rise Of Beasts is in theaters since June 9th, 2023, distributed by Paramount Pictures.
